grpaavola 29 Posted June 2, 2016 I am finally done my KITH entry! My blade is a stanley wonder bar, the guard is a piece of mild steel, the copper is from old pipes, the steel spacer is from an angle iron, and the handle is maple and walnut. Overall, I love this knife! I am thinking it should be called resurrection because it was from the previous knife that broke, and my guard is a coffin shape Um... Why not call it Lazarus? Fitting if you ask me... -Gabriel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timothy Artymko 39 Posted June 3, 2016 Well, technically there are 10 completed (these 8 plus Brian D's and Gary LT's), but that's still only a third of our total count o.o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Dougherty 791 Posted June 5, 2016 I still have a little way to go with mine, but will have it done by the end of the month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Bourlotos 26 Posted June 6, 2016 Same here. I'm a talented procrastinator, but I'm on the polish for the blade, glued my handle pieces together and will finish the hand guard this week. Then assembly and sheath. I have done more with less time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grpaavola 29 Posted June 6, 2016 Don't worry about me... I won't have a sheath but that wasn't a requirement. I will have it done in time. -Gabriel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin hopkins 10 Posted June 9, 2016 here is mine the blade wound up a tad shy after truing up the shoulders of 8" I hope that's ok. anyway here it is my weathered bowie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Dougherty 791 Posted June 11, 2016 I'm going to declare myself done. It could use some more work in the finish department, but I'm about out of shop time for the month. For those that didn't follow my WIP on this one, the idea was a rat-rod style knife that had as many identifiable items from the hardware store as possible. here are the components: Blade = Stanley 21" Wonder bar Bolster = part of a grade 8 1" bolt head Guard = Stanley 6" wonder bar Handle = Hickory from a pickax handle Pin = part of a 3/16" allen wrench Pommel = bronze pipe fitting with a spark plug Scabbard = wood core wrapped with cotton cord covered in a piece of blue jeans all impregnated with auto-body fiberglass resin. Blade length = 10" (9" edge length) OAL = 15.5" Weight = 13.6ox (385g) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua States 1,212 Posted June 13, 2016 I have succumbed to peer pressure......not really. I just think that every knife requires a sheath before it is 100% done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timothy Artymko 39 Posted June 17, 2016 I decided to make myself a sheath for Lazarus, because really, any knife needs a sheath it's my first wooden core sheath (scabbard?) And I think I did decently on it. It's made of maple hardwood, scraps of leather, parachute cord, copper grounding wire, and copper pipe. Hope you all like it!

Timothy Artymko 39 Posted June 17, 2016 I'm sure you can make it work We've already seen a 2x4 being used as a sheath, so whatever floats your boat! Or holds your knife in this case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wesley Alberson 138 Posted June 24, 2016 That looks great! Is that a hamon hiding in there, or is it an acid splash effect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Rice 1 Posted June 25, 2016 That looks great! Is that a hamon hiding in there, or is it an acid splash effect? You mean mine? I'm not really sure if it's a hamon, or if I just didn't steel wool the edge as much. If it is a hamon, it's my first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
